I do wonder if his son will start wrestling training eventually. I feel like if there's one thing Chris would want to do before he retired is wrestle matches with or even against his son lol

Fantastic. He's one of my favorite things about AEW.

Oh good grief. Does this also mean 3 more years of Jake Hager too?

I don't think you can really argue this is a bad thing.
Star power wise, he is a legit Attitude Era name who can still go, and while he may be quite selfish about TV time, he is profoundly unselfish as a wrestler - he puts over the guys he beats, and he only even bothers to beat people so he can get other people over by losing to them later.
He's also one of the best idea guys in wrestling. I'm not saying they're all winners, but they can't all be - that's why you have him as part of a team.
I was also someone who thought he would eventually go back to WWE for one last run; with Vince gone and Triple H in power, I'm not sure that's the case any more. Although I think the HOF induction is inevitable - and frankly I'm pretty sure he will end his in-ring career in AEW, but eventually go and have at least one more Mania match in WWE regardless. He might even be the one guy that Tony lets go back to WWE for a one-off while still under contract one day.

A year ago I would've groaned at this news, but this has been one of the best years of his career; in ring and on the mic. Long live the Ocho!

Since he lost the weight, he’s been amazing so I’m all for another 3 years if he can maintain that. The legend grows.

Wrestler / coach / commentator / creative advisor / producer... he only needs three more jobs to have the Ocho!

I am not going to bother with Jericho's matches going forward. I know his JAS run is fun for many, but I find it a total chore to be subjected to on a weekly basis. Especially how it makes Garcia look like an idiot.

As long as no one goes after Hager's hat, everything should be fine.

Safe to say he’ll never win his 10th IC title? Not counting the IWGP.
